We see here three soldiers of the German Army (Deutsches Heer - Bundeswehr) posing cheaply for my lame "Pro-Bundeswehr" propaganda campaign

Nah... actually I just wanted to draw some soldiers with a "WTF are you looking at?" attitude

On the left we have our dear Oberleutnant (First Leutenant) Helga Nadler with her favourite weapon... a Heckler & Koch G-36 assault rifle fitted with an H&K AG-36 grenade launcher. Bigass weapon of badass girl As you can see she's not using the... ahem... standar german uniform. Rather more a mix between woodland and desert flecktarn clothing

What? She ain't an orthodox soldier otherwise she wouldn't have posed for the "Why I joined the Deutsches Heer" picture. Unfortunatelly her face went a little screwed When I drew it on pencil it was fine but after inking it, it looked quite bad. I'm seriously considering not to ink my drawings anymore and instead scan them while still on pencil and then work the linearts digitally. Such strategy could help me get to a new level in my CG skills.

The guy in the middle is an updated version of a long forgotten OC of mine called Maximillian Schneider (Surname probably mispelled... will check later). He's a young major (at the moment of the picture). His main weapon is the H&K P8 (German Army adaptation of the H&K USP), which is located at his chest for an easy extraction. Gun looks a bit too small. Gotta draw hand guns more frequently.Oh.... for those german army enthusiasts... don't bother trying to figure out what the beret insignia stands for. In the german army the berets insignia and colors are helpful to determine the mission and role of each soldier. In this picture the insignia is fictional.

Also I'm not so sure whetter officer would actually wear the berets in a combat zone.

The third guy on the right is your random german soldier Nobody special. He's holding a standar G-36 assault rifle fitted with an EOTech sight and a Foregrip. However the rifle's size makes it look a bit more like the G-36K Proportion mistake right there I think.

The Flecktarn pattern used for both the woodland and desert flecktarn uniforms was made using my own Flecktarn brushes. Check my gallery and you should find them

I originally hesitated in uploading this picture given a recent incident that took place in Afghanistan were german ground forces called in an american air strike and blew two fuel trucks stolen by the Taleban. The bombing raid apparently killed way more civilians than actually expected. Not the shinest moment of army. But this picture is not to reflect any of that. It's just pasrt of my WW3 fan fiction.

I hope you like this. Next is the "Why I joined the VDV" project. However I'm planning to work paralelaly on 's request lineart so that once I'm finished coloring all currently scanned linearts, I can go scan the new linearts not long after.

Here's a breif plot:Allies: China, Russia, USA, Britain, Germany (Not on the Axis side for the first time in a world war), South Korea, France and Canada.Axis: United republic of the Arab States (Includes North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Saudi Arabia) All countries but Iran, Libya and North Korea were captured.Leaders of Axis: Mommahad Ali, Gaddafi, and Kim Jong il.

Ze Germans!!!!! XD Uh, what is the story behind Helga? It's been bothering me for a while. Also, I would like to know why I have not seen atleast a few references to the German Spezialkraftte (sorry if I misspelled it, its the German Special Operations)

Looking more at your art, and this one is cool. I particularly like the Bundeswehr Soldier on the right. The Soldier in the middle could be a tanker, because while Infantry have their holsters on their thighs, tankers put them on the chest so that it doesn't get caught on the hatch. What Aircraft was used in the strike on Taliban terrorists by the way?

Well actually the original plan I had for at least two of the characters here (the one in the middle and the girl on the left), was that they were going to be simple infantrymen. But I decided that the girl will be more part of a Mechanized Infantry unit and the guy in the middle will be a Tank commander.

On that regards the only changes it would have, would be the color of the beret switching to black and instead of a BDU-like uniform he would normally wear a coverall (Also on desert Flecktarn).

Hey, Tristan here from the United States, and I really like this artpiece...and your others too! I also think t's pretty cool how the German soldiers in the piece are holding G-36's and G-36k's, those are nice weapons!!! Ever heard of the M4 Carbine? It's the main assault rifle for the United States!!! Any-who, nice artpiece!!!

yeah, really interesting... and, just a reference, but the M-16A4 isn't the main assault rifle, though it's one of the most used. Thanks for the input, though! Keep working on the drawings! Halten Sie sich die gute Arbeit!

I though we made it clear at the end of the last war that you guys weren't permitted to feel pride any more. I guess we should have spiked your water with whatever we used to pussify the Japanese. Lol. Keep up the good work.

More than 60 years after I think the new generation of germans can feel prouder of their country. There are bigger nations on earth that endured far less shame and destruction and yet have accomplished so very little in terms of economy.
